Extractions: As its title implies, Gabriel Garcia Marquezs widely acclaimed Love in the Time of Cholera is a creative amalgam of two starkly contrasting elements: the sacredness of love and loves embodiment in often horrific, everyday experience. Ultimately, the transcendental power of spiritual love emerges as the beautifully rendered theme of this evocative, paradoxical masterwork. Marquez has always displayed great fortitude in his willingness to experiment and expand his stylistic repertoire. While Love in the Time of Cholera has formal similarities to his two other great fictional works - One Hundred Years of Solitude and The Autumn of the Patriarch - it avoids an exclusive reliance on either the stunning hallucinatory quality of the former or the lush density of the latter. Instead, maintaining an almost folktale quality grounded with the feel of everyday gossip, it incorporates images of love that hover midway between otherworldly beauty and netherworld terror.
